O NE Autumn day old Mr. Hare 

By chance peeped in a County Fair; 
With joy he saw the canvas white, 

And the flags afloat in the bright sunlight; 
So off through bush and brake he flew, 
To tell the tale to those he knew. 



E ach lent attentive 
eye and ear. 

The wonders of the fair 
to hear; 

So pleased were all — 
to-morrow they 
Agreed to go and spend 
the day.

T break of morn, 
the round red sun 
Looked down the road 
and saw each one : 
With a wink at Mars, says he “Heigho! 
They’re off to see the pumpkin show!” 










HE gateman said 
that Hugg, the bear, 
I ^ Was large enough to 
pay full fare. 

An angry growl was Hugg’s reply, — 

They passed him through in the wink of an eye. 






OME started in with 
right good will, 
Themselves with lemon- 
ade to fill : 

While others seemed to be content 
To patronize the side-show tent.

^HE whirligig was 
shortly spied, 

And all seemed eager 
for a ride: 

Old Blink, the owl, rode fifty trips; 
Next day was taken down with pipps. 









In knocking darling babies down.

HEY found a tall 
machine at length, 
Li- Where everyone could

test his strength: 
Hugg gave it such an awful pound, 
He drove the peg ’way in the ground. 






O N the pony coach 
they took a ride, 
Some on top and 
some inside. 

They spent a pleasant hour or so 
In riding on the tally-ho.

^HE slippery pig was 
then turned out, 
And like a streak he 
skipped about: 

Hugg, to catch him, had a show 
If he hadn’t stubbed his toe.

T WAS with delight 
they spied a card, 
“Chewing Candy, Five 
a Yard.” 

Contentment fairly filled the air. 
Till Sniff got taffy in his hair. 






A t luncheon time all 
hearts were glad, 
For each an early break- 
"• f^st had; 

And Hugg, a slice of pumpkin tried, 
With several melons on the side. 





T two o’clock the 
race commenced; 
The grand -stand filled, 
likewise the fence: 

The big bay horse, that old Sly Red 
Had picked to win, came in ahead. 



T he timber wolves 

showed much surprise, 
To see an old sheep 
win the prize. 

Old Mr. Gray spoke out in haste: 

“A lamb would better suit my taste.” 






t: 


HE pigs were viewed 
with smiling gaze, 
And showered with 
unstinted praise: 

So pleased was Hugg with a Berkshire shoat, 
That down the owner’s name he wrote.

Stepped in to have their

The pbssom learned — alas! alack! 

A tall dark man was on his track.

Provoked most every 
one to laugh: 

The Gypsy Love Song made a hit, 

And seemed to be the favorite.

comment made; 

But all agreed the squash, the beet, 

And pumpkin were the best to eat.

some talk arose 
Of where a certain 
berry grows: 

“Those big ones,” the flamingo said, 

“Fm sure grow long the river bed.” 




’Twas viewed from many points of sight, 
And sharpened every appetite.

Was the ascent of

And one and all stood stark and mute, 
When downward came the parachute.

A leave at 

A A. six o’clock, 

For then the outside 
gates were locked; 

But many a backward glance was sent, 

As homeward bound their way they went. 






HE sun had long sunk 
in the West, 

’Fore all were home in 
bed at rest; 

The coon, young Sniff and Hugg, the bear. 
Dreamed all night long of the County Fair.
